What will the future of work really look like, and how it will impact organizations as they seek growth and success in an era of change and digital transformation? More importantly, how can leaders achieve the optimal combination of humans and machines within their organizations?

There can be uncertainty, risk and difficult questions to answer when it comes automation in the workplace. Once the decision has been made to adopt automation and artificial intelligence, leaders face difficult and stubborn questions about how to implement that decision:

How, when, and where should we apply automation in our organizations? Is it a stark choice between humans versus machines?

How do we stay on top of these technological trends as work and automation continue to evolve?

Ravin will share key insights from his new book, helping leaders to better understand how to reinvent jobs to achieve the optimal balance of cost, productivity and risk. Attendees will get the chance to explore:

The opportunities and consequences of using artificial intelligence (AI), automation and robotics in the workplace to improve organizational performance

Why the current debate about humans being replaced by machines is flawed

A practical four-step framework to "deconstruct, redeploy and reconstruct" work and create optimal human-machine combinations
